Cinemachine Delay Start of DollyCart - Problem with namespace Cinemachine - VS Code

Unity Engine

I want to delay the start of the cinemachine dollycart by a few seconds so I thought of adding a script to the Cart that set the m_speed to 0 waited a few seconds and then set it back to 10 (the normal speed). I have the following code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;

public class Waiter : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float waitSeconds;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        gameObject.GetComponent<CinemachineDollyCart>().m_speed = 0;
        StartCoroutine(waiter());
        gameObject.GetComponent<CinemachineDollyCart>().m_speed = 10;
    }

    IEnumerator waiter()
    {
        //Wait for x seconds
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitSeconds);
    }
}

However, VS Code marks “using Cinemachine” and
“gameObject.GetComponent()”
with error CS0246 (couldn’t find “Cinemachine” namespace).

Also when i try to play on Unity it gives the following compiler error: “Assets\Scripts\Waiter.cs(12,57): error CS1061: ‘CinemachineDollyCart’ does not contain a definition for ‘m_speed’ and no accessible extension method ‘m_speed’ accepting a first argument of type ‘CinemachineDollyCart’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)” (same for line 14).

I’ve tried deleting .csproj files and opening the project again but it doesn’t get fixed. Also I don’t know if there is an easier way to do this that doesn’t involve messing with the using Cinemachine namespace.

Unity version: 2019.3.3f1
VS Code Editor: 1.1.4
Cinemachine version: 2.5.0

Try m_Speed with a capital S, instead of m_speed. :slight_smile:

gameObject.GetComponent<CinemachineDollyCart>().m_Speed = 0;

Thanks that solved it, what a stupid mistake :face_with_spiral_eyes:.

I’m assuming that VS Code was marking those lines as errors due to this other issue: VS Code does not find some classes. cs0246/cs0103 - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions
